Some iPhone XS and XS Max units refuse to charge until you wake them up

29 September 2018
The issue applies to wired charging and appears to be widespread; our samples are unaffected.

      this is so bs. people should already be smart enough to realise that crapple is ripping them off
      jesus christ.. you pay 1350euro(in my area) for this device and you already got tons of problem.

          kalel, 29 Sep 2018Do you ever notice samsung fans or Google pixel fans causin... moreFrom the very first page I noticed Apple fans trying to divert attention by attacking Pixel & Samsung phones from the past.
          How about the here & now, did the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 get these problems?, nope, or will the Pixel 3/XL, I doubt it.

          It may or may not be surprising to some that the Apple iPhone XS & XS Max has QC issues (although I didn't expect this many), and no surprise that Apple users/ fans/ employees/ shareholders are trying to defend & deflect these issues as "minor issues", "no big deal", it clearly is a big deal to anyone that has just paid $1,000 to $1,500 for themselves or as a present.

          It's unjustifiable to make out that there's nothing to see here, it's not acceptable to have these issues from ANY manufacturer charging these highest price$.

              More troublesome would be if they refused to wake up with dead weak battery, you wouldn't be able to ever charge them because they would refuse to wake up, therefore refuse to charge, therefore refuse to wake up and so on...

                [deleted post]There is nothing wrong getting phones on contracts and spreading the payments. Bulk of phones bought are done through contracts. Every brand is sold on contracts. Just hating for hating sake

                  I still use Lumias. Some are 5 year old phones still getting updates. No new features really but not an issue. Batteries replaceable and many other parts are cheap if something else breaks. Save 1000s of dollars easily ;)

                    kalel, 29 Sep 2018Do you ever notice samsung fans or Google pixel fans causin... moreI am not a fan of anything but i prefer a android cause i can buy the phone for under 300 euro and it's a brand new device in the year i will buy it. I dont buy a phone cause i like some brand. I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI cause it was global version that i got for 170 euro on release date for global version and it's specs were the best i can get in that time for that money. First phone in the market with a SD636 cpu that is middle range phone and not even bottom of the middle range phones. Now if the prices will drop on that brand i can change it to pocophone f1 after one year and it will be close to same price i bought that redmi note 5 ai and get 2018 year flagship android hardware. I dont use my phone to get updates as it's not making my experience any better when i dont play games or take pictures. All apps i use will run even on my redmi note 5 for years to come and i dont need updates for android so they will run well. I have 5 years old tablet on android 6 and still works and i got it 5 years ago with 140 euro a Asus Nexus 7 2013.

                    For the 1500 euro one phone that gets 5 years updates i dont care. I get 10 years and 5 or more phones for that amount of money. If i change a phone after 2 years and get the newest android on them that may get one major android update like from 8.1 to 9

Obviously people but them if they can afford them and still have money left over. Also did u not realise that most people don't buy the phones outright and instead get them on a contract to spread the cost? Line rental for these are similarly priced to other flagship? If people can't afford to buy they then get on contract and people who can buy will be able to afford. Do u react the same negative way when ur favourite brand gets issues at times? :D

Both these brands also sell expensive phones too. But just like apple, users will defend there's nothing wrong with that Bcuz everyone knows when a problem is found then it's quickly fixed. But I know Bcuz it's apple then android fans like to get carried away jumping on bandwagon shouting the same as this. But a week later this will be fixed and people will move on and it will be forgotten.

                                Maybe apple want people to use only wireless charging so next year they could remove also the lightning port.

                                      Apple and Samsung have a lot of people to satisfy with their products, so they really have to try hard to make the least errors as possible.
